Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
 Scotland claimed they were world
champions after handing England their first defeat in twenty matches, but
it was something of a hollow victory against a team reduced to eight fit
players. Jack Charlton hobbled at centre-forward for much of the match
with a broken toe, Ray Wilson was a limping passenger after getting a kick
on the ankle, and Jimmy Greaves was reduced to half pace by a knock in his
comeback match. Denis Law was at his tormenting best and gave Scotland the
lead after twenty-eight minutes, and it remained at 1-0 until a four-goal
rush in the last twelve minutes. Celtic winger Bobby Lennox made it 2-0
before Jack Charlton bravely pulled one back. Gordon Banks was beaten at
the near post by Jim McCalliog and then Hurst headed home a Bobby Charlton
cross. Nobby Stiles, Denis Law's Manchester United team-mate, said
later: 'I knew the Scots were taking it very seriously when Denis came on
to the pitch wearing shinpads. I had never seen him wear them before.'
Four of the Scottish team helped Celtic become the first British club to
win the European Cup the following month. The newly knighted Sir Alf
Ramsey said: 'Scotland deserved their victory, but I hope they will accept
it as a fact rather than an excuse when I say were were heavily
handicapped by injuries.'
